Description

Showcasing the elegance of Pinot Noir grown in a warm Mediterranean climate, this wine exudes vibrant aromas of ripe raspberries and red berries, complemented by subtle floral undertones.

Its approachable yet refined character makes it perfect for casual evenings or paired with food.

History and Winemaking

Aubert et Mathieu is a boutique winery renowned for crafting expressive and modern wines from the South of France. Focused on sustainability and minimal intervention, the producers aim to highlight the unique terroir of the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

The 2022 Hautes Pistes Pinot Noir is sourced from elevated vineyards where cooler temperatures preserve the grape’s natural acidity and delicate fruit profile. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to enhance the wine’s freshness, followed by gentle aging to soften the tannins and add complexity. This careful approach results in a wine that bridges traditional and contemporary winemaking.
